NASHVILLE – Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree’ Jackson is returning just in time for his team’s AFC wild-card playoff game against the New England Patriots.
The Titans already were without cornerback Malcolm Butler, who broke his left wrist in a road loss to the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 3. Jackson had missed the past four games due to a foot injury that occurred in a road win against the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 1.
Jackson has practiced all week, though, and the Titans (9-7) listed him as available in their injury report for Saturday night’s 8:15 p.m. game at New England (12-4), which will be televised by CBS.
“They wouldn’t put me out there if I wasn’t, so I’m good to go, ready to go and excited,” Jackson said after Thursday’s practice.
The 18th draft pick overall in 2017 out of Southern California started 10 of the 11 games he appeared in during the 2019 regular season. Without Jackson, the Titans started Tramaine Brock Sr. opposite Logan Ryan after claiming the veteran Brock off waivers.
